Rejected petition Start an investigation into the astronomical cost of the UK Track and Trace.
Rejected on
The cost of implementing Track and Trace in the UK is approximately £22 billion pound. This is an incredibly large amount, especially when you consider that NASA can send the Perseverance Rover to Mars for 'just' £3 billion.
As the government is the body that has given the go ahead for this astronomical amount, they should publically investigate what on earth £22 billion has been spent on and then justify this incredible use of public money.
